If we are to improve there must be some changes.
McGregor No
Richards Yes
Morrison Yes if Manga doesn't stay
Bamba Yes
Bennett. Not sure. If he can keep improving Yes.
Gunnarsson Yes
Whittingham ............arghh...........No
Noone No
Hoilett No
Zahore Yes
Harris Possibly but he needs to do more, every game.
Halford No
Pilkington No
My own issue with the above is that we concede too many goals and don't score enough. A. Better midfield would improve that. Do we need new defenders, apart from Bamba, and will we find them?
If we are to improve there must be some changes.
McGregor Yes, if we can sign him for a reasonable amount.
Richards Not sure
Morrison Yes
Bamba Yes
Bennett. Not sure
Gunnarsson Yes
Whitingham No
Noone No
Hoilett Yes
Zahore Yes
Harris Yes
Accepting that they all work hard ........
Bennett, Richards, Hoilett, Ralls, Harris, Zahore are often 6 out of 10 players, sometimes 8
They all need to step up to a minimum 7 every game and push for 8 and more.
In a winning team yes. But not this season.
To win promotion we need a team averaging 8 not 6.
Is try to keep Harris and Hoilett, Ralls for Whitts and maybe Huws for Noone with Kennedy as competition for Harris. From yesterday it's just Ralls for Whitts and Huw's for Noone for me. Bennett has been excellent last few weeks and is nailed on for me, with full back competition/cover from John, Peltier and Connolly we are sorted.
Also Pilkington to cover a few spots- so I'd keep him... another striker, box to box midfield ball winner to compete with Gunnar. Maybe Saadi back or Healey as 3rd striker and we have the nucleus of a decent 1st team squad.
Not given up on Lambert yet as a decent bench option either.
Will need a keeper, would love to keep McGregor, but other names mentioned would also be decent, definitely Ruddy or even Hennessy or Lindegaard - all fine.
Maybe another pacy winger ?
Where the hell is Fred by the way ?
I think Zohore has earned the right to have his name spelt correctly
McGregor yes please
Richards meh
Morrison Yes i suppose
Bamba hell yes
Bennett. Yes
Gunnarsson Yes
Whittingham depending on wages
Noone Not fussed
Hoilett not fussed
Zahore Yes
Harris yes
Halford squad member ok
Pilkington yes
There's great stats web site that has Morrison asceinning far more headers per game than any other City player and also is our top performer overall.
He might benefit from shaving his hair off or dying it red so that people would notice better the contribution he makes.
He isn't perfect and does sometimes lose duels he should win and sometimes his distribution is poor, but he's a good centre half. Under-rated by our fans.
Exactly, if his distribution was a little better though, he wouldn't be playing for us!
Very good player in both 18 yard boxes, and has had TV pundits and commentators regularly praising his aerial prowess.
I'm amazed how little fans actually notice whilst at a game, and are quite judgemental, without having a clue about what they're talking about.
For me first 11
McGregor Replacement
Richards Replacment
Manga
Bamba
Bennett.
Gunnarsson
Whittingham Replacement (cry)
Ralls
Hoilett
Zahore
Saadi
Saadi I reckon will be sold and Manga will be gone.
Someone needs to have a word with Morrisson winning headers in the opposition box and setting up a goal.
I dont think we are far off being a team capable of challenging.
Warnock has already stated we can't afford McGregor's wages, the same applies to Manga and Whitts. They are not going to stay on vastly reduced terms. He also has 6 million to spend on 4 new players and has not been impressed with the likes of Noone and John, whilst there are rumours that Harris will not be staying.
And don't forget Fred.
He's in the deepest CCS cryo-labs being rebuilt, and about to be revealed as RoboFred - half man, half striker. He will tear up the championship next season. Probably.
I don't understand why Morrison gets so much stick from our fans.
He's playing really well at the moment and is perfect cover for Bamba who often tries to get in front of the centre forward whereas Morrison is more disciplined in keeping his line.
Bamba and Manga as a pairing would probably be a disaster as they both come out of position far too often.
